Food Cost & Markup Standards
The food cost percentage is your ingredient cost divided by selling price. Restaurants target 28–35% food cost (roughly a 3× markup), while bakeries often target 33% (3× markup). Pricing at 2× barely covers labor and overhead — always include your time.
When selling on Etsy, factor in: $0.20 listing fee, 6.5% transaction fee, and ~3% + $0.25 payment processing. That's typically 9–12% of your sale price gone before you count ingredients or labor. A common rule: your selling price should be at least 3–4× your total cost (materials + labor + overhead) to run sustainably.
